I know someone with this scenario: they pissed off someone years back, and that someone made a twitter account pretending to be them, which despite lack of activity in years still ranks on the first page when searching their full name. Twitter does nothing about it. Friend doesn't even use Twitter, has an account that's "private" but not really anything in it. Solvable longer term with SEO/twitter participation but it's not ideal. Sometimes you just want to make clear that someone pretending to be you is not you, and if social media and search companies can take that into account, all the better.
- Kagerjay 8y agoThis is one of the reasons I go through efforts of having social media accounts. If you dont define your own social branding you leave yourself a backdoor to trolls.
